Chapter 1494 - 1474: Struck It Rich, Flying Golden Fish

Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe both felt that the surrounding gold-colored strange fish were no longer attacking them, so they put away their cultivation techniques.

They proceeded to break the ice blocks surrounding several gold-colored strange fish and took a closer look.

These gold-colored strange fish were half a meter long, had a pair of wings, sharp teeth in their mouths, and skin of golden yellow.

Yang Xiao asked:

"Senior Brother Xing Zhe, you've been at Wuji Academy for a long time, do you know this kind of fish?"

Xing Zhe looked closely again, thought for a moment, and suddenly said excitedly:

"Yang Xiao, this fish is rare at Wuji Academy. I vaguely recall it once appeared, five years ago, when the academy hosted a banquet for Emperor Level realm students. I remember there was a dish made into soup. With a table for eight people, there was only one pot of fish soup,

The broth was golden, crystal clear, somewhat thick, and each person only had a small bowl to sip,"

I still remember, it was the banquet's highlight dish, and the host proudly introduced the soup as having a great origin,

This fish is called the Fei Jin Fish, and it grows up in waters rich in Genetic Evolution energy, containing strong Evolution energy throughout its body,

Don't underestimate that small bowl of fish soup; it's equivalent to cultivating in a Level Nine cultivation field for 24 hours."

"Is it really that miraculous? Are you sure it's the fish in front of us?"

Xing Zhe shone a flashlight onto the golden strange fish on the ground, thought and said:

"I'm not entirely sure, just a feeling. After all, back then we drank fish soup, each table had only parts of fish meat, not a complete fish, but I feel it's somewhat similar overall."

"If it really is the Fei Jin Fish that you say is rich in Evolution energy, have we struck gold?"

Xing Zhe smiled and said:

"If it truly is the Fei Jin Fish, and there are a couple of fish on the ground, naturally we've struck gold. Just think, a bowl of soup equals cultivating in a Level Nine cultivation field for 24 hours; an entire fish is equivalent to cultivating in the field for a month, isn't it?"

Yang Xiao, hearing this, became very excited and said:

"Isn't it simple? We just eat a fish and find out?"

Xing Zhe was a bit surprised and looked somewhat cautious,

"What if it's poisonous?"

"I'll try a little first, no fear, I have plenty of Detoxification Pills."

Yang Xiao decided to act, and with a flick of his Divine Sense, a half-meter-long gold-colored strange fish floated into the air.

With a gesture of his right hand, a flame appeared in Yang Xiao's hand, aimed at the gold-colored strange fish floating in mid-air.

Yang Xiao used his Fire Element cultivation technique to grill the gold-colored strange fish, under Yang Xiao's Divine Sense control, slowly turning in mid-air.

After half an hour, the aroma of grilled fish spread throughout the cave.

Xing Zhe couldn't help but swallow,

"So fragrant, Yang Xiao, this aroma is about seventy percent similar to what I remember. This fish is likely the Fei Jin Fish."

"Whether it's the Fei Jin Fish or not, after I grill it completely and eat it, we'll know."

Moments later, as the aroma in the cave became more intense, Yang Xiao estimated the whole Fei Jin Fish was grilled, stopped using the Fire Element cultivation technique, extended a finger, converted energy into a blade, and sliced off a small piece of grilled fish meat.

The small piece of fish meat, under Yang Xiao's Divine Sense control, flew directly to his mouth.

Xing Zhe suddenly shouted:

"Brother Yang, eat sparingly, try a little first, it's better to be cautious."

Yang Xiao nodded, smelled it, and lightly licked it with his tongue.

The fish meat was cooked, with a layer of fish oil on the surface. Yang Xiao gently licked, the fish oil on the surface sticking to his tongue.

Yang Xiao suddenly felt a rush of powerful Genetic Evolution energy transform into heat flow, enter the body via the tongue, then rush directly inside, like a torrent descending from a hundred-meter high mountain, strong and heart-stopping.

Yang Xiao's expression changed drastically.

What the heck, just licking and such potent Evolution energy already?

Xing Zhe saw Yang Xiao's expression change dramatically and immediately asked with concern:

"Brother Yang, what's wrong? Something amiss?"

Yang Xiao collected himself, smiled slightly, opened his mouth and bit the small piece of fish floating near his mouth, chewing briefly.

"Boom!"

Yang Xiao immediately felt like a bomb exploded in his mouth, with surging Evolution Ability turning into rushing water, rudely crashing into the body.

Yang Xiao's face changed, not daring any delay, quickly concentrated, guided the external Evolution energy to roam the body, finally safely entering his Energy Ocean.

While Yang Xiao guided the Evolution energy, Xing Zhe stood nearby holding a Detoxification Pill, anxiously watching Yang Xiao. If Yang Xiao showed any abnormality, he'd immediately intervene.

Moments later, Yang Xiao absorbed the Evolution energy from the first fish piece and sighed deeply.

Xing Zhe quickly inquired:

"How was it?"

Yang Xiao laughed, turned energy into a blade with his fingers, sliced another piece of fish meat,

"Xing Zhe, we've hit the jackpot, hurry and eat."

After speaking, ignoring Xing Zhe's questions, he swallowed the fish meat, concentrated again, guided the Evolution energy into the Energy Ocean.

Xing Zhe watched Yang Xiao eat another piece of fish, surprised and delighted, uncertain yet followed Yang Xiao's example, extending a finger, converting energy into a blade, sliced a small piece of fish meat, placed to his mouth, and gently bit.

Suddenly, a strong surge of Evolution energy rushed into his body.

Xing Zhe was internally stunned and ecstatic, quickly guided the Evolution energy inside, flowing into his Energy Ocean.

Xing Zhe said, voice trembling:

"Yang, Brother Yang, this is true, right? This really is the Fei Jin Fish! We've struck rich!"

The two laughed heartily and began continuously eating the grilled fish in front of them.

They sat on the ground eating the grilled fish, each taking turns until finishing the whole fish, leaving only a rough skeleton.

Satisfied, the two exchanged smiles.

"Brother Yang, does this count as misfortune turning into fortune for us?"

"I suppose so. These fish are not only rare Evolution energy but also food, enough for us to survive half a year in this vast underground tunnel, while we cultivate and think of escape options."

Xing Zhe glanced at the hundred or so Fei Jin Fish on the ground, smiled:

"So many fish, how should we manage them, we can't just pile them and eat here?"

"Simple, we split them equally and each put the share into our Space Rings, how does that sound?"

Listening to this, Xing Zhe nodded. "Good."

Thus, the pair began to distribute the Fei Jin Fish on the ground.

Standing together, Yang Xiao invoked his Divine Sense, maneuvered a half-meter-long Fei Jin Fish to his side, storing it in the Space Ring,

Similarly, Xing Zhe followed suit, putting a Fei Jin Fish into his Space Ring.

One for each of them, in moments, they stored the whole heap of Fei Jin Fish on the ground into their Space Rings.

"I have 118 fish."

"I have 119 fish, I got one more than you."

"Haha..."
